The library of 218 potential enoyl reductase inhibitors provided by Find-A-Drug consists of diketopiperazine derivatives. The four-component Ugi reaction followed by a cyclization should prove to be a convenient and general approach to making these compounds. Many of these reactions require DOPAL as the aldehyde component. Before attempting the Ugi reaction with DOPAL, we are practicing with other commercially available aldehydes. In the more recent experiments, detailed analysis of the progress of the reactions using NMR with JSpecView permits the determination of the rate constants of imine formation.
